THE Traitors star Diane Carson has revealed she suffered a nasty fall on holiday that resulted in a £280 trip to the dentist.
The keen runner, 65, is on holiday in Lisbon with her son and his girlfriend, Rima.
While exploring the sunny Portuguese city, Diane came a cropper on a jog and it needed a pricey resolution.
She shared a video of her happily bounding through a park before the accident and wrote over the top: “Today’s amazing run — before the £280 worth of dental treatment.”
In the caption she gave more detail, explaining she had two scraped knees, a staved thumb, a severely swollen lip and two chipped teeth; one was so far back she couldn’t close her mouth.
Showing true grit, she completed another 1.5miles after the incident to finish her route.

She wrote: “My tooth was masterfully maneuvered back into place and treatment completed with an orthodontic wire.”
Her followers were quick to comment, wishing her well and praising her strength for returning to exercise so soon after the accident.
One wrote: “Yikes! Not sure I would have carried on after that…”
Diane replied: “I’m a tad bloody minded – matching my face this morning!”
Another said: “Ouch!!!! But obviously finish the run! hope you’re ok.”
The reality star responded: “I’ll live, thank u. Tooth mightn’t though!”
In another exchange, a fan posted: “Poor you! Sounds painful… hope it doesn’t impede the rose enjoyment.”
Diane said: “Rarely impeded – even if I have to use a straw to accommodate a swollen mouth!!!”
The previous day, the retired teacher shared a picture with her son Ross, with whom she appeared in The Traitors with.
She wrote: “Lovely meeting up with Ross and Rima and what a great holiday destination – Lisbon!”
“Plenty of sunshine, running, exploring, shopping, Padel AND the discovery of natural wines! We arrived just in time for the start of Festas de Lisboa – so lots of craic!”
The series two pair were responsible for one of the series’ biggest twists and were both a big hit with viewers.
Their co-stars had no idea they were related until Ross delivered the news after being eliminated at the round table in episode 10.
His parting words were: “I am a Faithful… oh wait, no, I’m a Traitor. But I was a Faithful for most of it. And I do have one more secret… Diane is my mum.”
Malcolm Phillips, 93, is given an absolute discharge, while Linda Brunning is jailed for 25 years.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s sweeping demands for confidential transgender patient information from Rhode Island’s largest hospital that provides gender-affirming care to minors.
U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy’s Wednesday ruling is the latest setback for the U.S. Department of Justice, where at least seven other federal courts have agreed to quash or limit the expansive civil subpoenas sent to more than 20 doctors and hospitals last summer.
McElroy’s decision also echoed similar concerns raised by judges surrounding the expansive scope of the subpoenas, describing the Justice Department as having “immense prosecutorial authority and discretion” but no longer trustworthy it will enforce its power fairly and honestly.
“DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case,” McElroy wrote.
A Justice Department spokesperson said Thursday that it would appeal and continue with its investigations.
“The Rhode Island court’s attack on the professionalism and integrity of DOJ attorneys is outrageous and unjustified,” the department said.
According to the subpoenas, the Justice Department had demanded Rhode Island Hospital hand over the birth dates, Social Security numbers and addresses of every patient who received transgender care over the past five years. It also included instructions to provide all documents detailing adverse side effects in minor patients who received gender-related care, assessments that formed the basis for prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapy, as well as patient intake forms and guardian authorization.
The Justice Department has repeatedly argued that the information sought in the subpoenas is needed to investigate possible fraud or unlawful off-label promotion of drugs. Most recently during a hearing in Rhode Island, the DOJ said that the investigation was taking place in the Northern District of Texas, where the court’s chief judge ordered Rhode Island Hospital to comply with the subpoena before McElroy’s decision voided the subpoena.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Brantley Mayers told McElroy during the hearing that the Justice Department is investigating potential “misbranding” of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, such as puberty blockers for young people. While off-label prescribing is legal, Mayers said that the DOJ is concerned that pharmaceutical companies are providing “financial incentives” to Rhode Island doctors to prescribe the drugs.
The subpoenas were crucial in getting the names of children and their families so the Justice Department could interview them.
McElroy rejected that argument.
“The administration has publicly characterized gender-affirming care for minors as abuse, directed the DOJ to bring its practice to an end, and celebrated when hospitals curtailed such programs as a result of this subpoena campaign,” McElroy wrote.
The Rhode Island decision is the latest development in the fight over transgender youth health records. Earlier this week, 11 families filed a class-action lawsuit seeking to block the Justice Department from obtaining the documents. The lawsuit, filed in Maryland’s federal court, is backed by families with transgender children who have received care from hospitals across the U.S.
And separately, a New York hospital announced that it received a grand jury subpoena from federal prosecutors in Texas seeking information about children who received gender-affirming care and the medical providers who administered it.
NYU Langone is the first hospital system to publicly acknowledge receiving a subpoena for such records as part of a federal criminal investigation. But the institution said in its statement Tuesday it was one of several that received a subpoena out of the Northern District of Texas on May 7. It said it was deciding on how to respond.
“The government cannot use its subpoena power to intimidate families out of seeking lawful medical care. To trans and gender-diverse children and their families, we want you to know that you are valued, you are not alone,” Kevin Love Hubbard, an attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee of Rhode Island, who represented the plaintiffs in the case, said in a statement.
Gender-affirming care includes a range of medical and mental health services to support a person’s gender identity, including when it’s different from the sex they were assigned at birth. It may include counseling, medications that block puberty, hormone therapy to produce physical changes or surgeries to transform chests and genitals, although those are rare for minors.
Most major medical groups say access to the treatment is important for those with gender dysphoria and see gender as existing along a spectrum.
At least 27 states have adopted laws restricting or banning the care for minors, while several others have adopted laws or policies protecting access to transgender healthcare.

SEOUL, May 10 (UPI) — South Korea’s KB Financial Group unveiled a humanoid robot for senior care during AI EXPO Korea 2026 held in southern Seoul.
During the three-day event last week, KB Financial showcased the humanoid robot, named “GenP,” which was jointly developed with domestic AI company GENON.
KB Financial noted that GenP was specifically designed for senior care, as it is equipped with upgraded finger-module capabilities to perform precise movements suited for assisting elderly users.
During the exhibition, the humanoid robot carried out five demonstrations, including greeting visitors and delivering daily information, such as rehabilitation schedules.
The Seoul-based financial conglomerate said that the presentation demonstrated its transition from text-based agentic AI to physical AI geared toward engaging directly with the everyday lives of senior customers.
Next month, KB Financial’s affiliate plans to introduce an AI-powered care robot, dubbed “KeBi,” at a South Korean facility for senior citizens.
South Korea is widely regarded as having one of the world’s fastest-aging societies, as the proportion of people age 65 or older topped 20% of the population. As of the end of last year, it was 21.21%, according to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
“Starting with this demonstration, we plan to gradually verify the feasibility of applying physical AI to care settings. Based on those results, we will further expand our service scope and business operations,” KB Financial said in a statement.
“Going forward, we will concentrate our capabilities on realizing the future of senior care solutions, which combine advanced technology and compassionate care,” it said.
The share price of KB Financial rose 0.31% on the Seoul bourse Friday.
